the fresh food. a quintessential mediterranean diet. to the grandkids, that tomato is a snack. starting her on a life of organic food without even knowing the meaning of the word. meat is a rare treat. only for special occasions. alexandro's goats are for milk and feta and sheep are for the feast that will follow his new granddaughter's baptism. >> at 5:00 a.m. he'll wake up and call his goats down and feed his goats. the grandchildren are over here. so there's interaction across generations. >> constant engagement with the family. >> yeah. i think that makes a huge difference. you can see that when the grandchild shows up, he lights up. you wonder why they have such low rates of depression, well, they're not warehousing their old like we do in america. they're keeping their old as part of the family. so in return, his daughter and granddaughter get free child care and loving child care. there's also, i think, just the fact that he can't afford to move to a retirement home that this is something he has to do. so it's that purpose. that feeling like he's needed. that he's expect

now finally over in europe we still have a cutoff low over the eastern and central parts of the mediterranean countries causing gloomy conditions. the highest concern is large hail as well as heavy precipitation for the south of italy and the balkan peninsula. and then we have a windmaker coming in to the british isles. 130 kilometers gusts could happen in ireland and this system will likely move into moreway on tuesday that will bring inland snow and also heavy coastal rain fall. temperatures are mild in many places. 12 degrees in berlin and beautiful weather for the iberian peninsula. here's the extended forecast. >>> that's all for this edition of "newsline." i'm miki yamamoto in tokyo. we'll have more news for you at the top of the hour. thanks for watching nhk world. ֖ llegiance to islamic state. arrests have been made in the killing of boris nemtsov, shot dead outside the kremlin 10 days ago. the first flight around the world, a historic launch to prove it is possible to fly without fossil fuel. you are watching "france 24." thanks for joining us this hour. i am genie godula. troops fr

it flew out across the mediterranean and then coasted in as they say in the trade and flew over the frenchst at about 9:31 by which time it had reached it's planned cruising height of 38,000 feet. at that stage, it started are losing height fairly rapidly and the last radar trace shows it at 6,800 feet, which may just be the height of the mountains where it crashed. i'm afraid i haven't had a moment to check if that's the case. >> this could point to some kind of malfunction mechanical malfunction? >> that is a possibility but as people have been saying, aviation statistically is still very very safe. there are 6,450 plus airbus 320 aircraft around the world and the incidence of catastrophes are very low indeed. >> when a plane goes down, it tends to capture the attention and imagination of people. we do tend to get perceptions mixed up with reality. >> absolutely, and of course, if you happen to be involved in this statistics mean absolutely nothing, it's 100% for. you the likelihood of it happening i go very small. as they say in the business, there are lots of holes in the swiss cheese

it could evenn happen acss the mediterranean. t i think the bigger role we are looking to play is, , how can we shore up the countries that are still struggling to survive and thstand the threat from isis, to get to the roots of the oblem? and that is assisting them with buililding up their own defense capabilities, their own dense institutions, helping them with strategic munication's encounter messaging -- strategic communications and encounter messaging. the european union can also assist these countries in building up theirr political institutions their economies looking at the different social factors that create this swampmp in which isis can grow. so capacity building is the buzzword, or defense capacity building. that is going to be the biggest role for nato. we do not have a lot of resoces to do this. i hope as we look to the summit in warsaw that nations willl backup this very sensible strategy with sourceces to make it work. vago: in afghanistan, the president of the united states said the united states will keep 10,000
